Big Country came out of the gates in the early '80s with the hit single 'In A Big Country', taken from the band's debut album, The Crossing.

The band released eight albums in two decades before calling it a day after the death of founding member and vocalist Stuart Adamson.

Reuniting in 2007 to celebrate Big Country’s 25th anniversary, OG member Bruce Watson decided to keep things going alongside his son, guitarist Jamie Watson, new vocalist and guitarist Tommie Paxton, drummer Reece Dobbin and bassist Chris Stones.

Catch Big Country at The Gov on Wednesday 9 June. Ticketing information is available at metropolistouring.com.
